I look back on my long past and I see the difference in myself each and every day. I find that I learn so much everyday and sometimes it does scare me. For the most part, it liberates me.

It has only been three months, but it feels like life has passed for almost two years. I have never felt this way but I am genuinely glad that it has been this way. I am glad for my struggles because they continue to make me wiser and more resilient. I know I have made many mistakes. I will continue to make mistakes because I am human. But, I know that those mistakes should not bring me down.

College is not a cakewalk by any means. Taking 15 units was probably not the best idea for my first semester but it has taught me to multitask and be more productive in with my free time. On top of that, I decided to start working this semester as well. Working at Panda Express has taught me great work ethic and how to communicate with others such as customers and my coworkers. I am thankful for the experiences that I am having because without it, I would probably still be the same person I was before I got to school.

I have always craved change in my life, as I felt like there weren’t many opportunities back home to do different things. Coming to San Jose has definitely been one of the hardest yet rewarding times of my life. I continue to enjoy it for the time that I am here. I want to be able to learn new things about myself, the subjects I am passionate about and the world around me for the most part. I hope that I continue on the path to my success and that I truly find myself in the midst of it all.
